History

Flint tools and animal bones were found at a nearby quarry dating to a million years ago. A 2022 report concluded that they show that the hominins at the site used fire.

Evron was established in 1945 and was named after the biblical Evron (עברון Joshua 19:28), which in some manuscripts appears as Avdon (עבדון), a village nearby in Asher tribe (Joshua 19:28) The founders were immigrants from Germany, Poland and Transylvania who had formed the kibbutz in 1937. In the 1940s it served as a Palmach base and a hiding place for illegal immigrants of Aliyah Bet. The founders were later joined by more immigrants from Bulgaria. Remnants of a church from the 5th century were discovered on the kibbutz land, and it has an archaeological collection with findings from the area. In the eastern part of the kibbutz is a part of an aqueduct which conducted water from the Cabri springs to Acre.
